[The first chapter, today's fourth chapter]
Salin's cautiousness worked. Although the giant bird had unconsciously destroyed the magic array, even if it couldn't trap Salin in the space-time turbulence, it could easily prevent the magic array from self-destructing.
If not for the fireball before he left, the Vatican could easily find a way to attack the Shrine through this magic array.
The Vatican could even secretly wait according to the coordinates, and use the teleportation array to sneak into the Shrine at some unknown time. Salin's Shrine was built flawlessly, and it would be extremely difficult to attack. The only problem was the teleportation array.
No one would rely on others to determine the coordinates of the teleportation array.
After Salin left, although the giant bird was also a level-nine magic beast, it was burnt to a crisp by the fireball. Salin's fireball contained the constant evaporation of water elements. The speed and duration of the attack was only twice that of an ordinary fireball, but even Salin didn't know how long it could last.
The crater suddenly burst into flames, and the huge fireball Salin left behind turned into thousands of smaller fireballs, rolling in the crater. Wherever they passed, the rocks turned into liquid.
Salin returned to the Shrine, put down the people around him, and went to see his teacher, Jason.
Jason was stunned at first when he saw Salin, and then he laughed. Salin rarely saw his teacher so excited. Jason stopped laughing and said to Salin, "I'm an incompetent teacher, but I managed to teach you, a level-ten Great Mage. Salin, you're lucky, and I'm lucky too. "
"Teacher?" Salin didn't know why Jason laughed. Even if he advanced to level-ten, Jason shouldn't be this happy.
"I'm laughing. Our line of mages has finally broken free from the shackles of fate. I caught up with the outbreak of the overall power of the Myers Continent, and successfully advanced. You also had many fortuitous encounters. You still don't know, but your student, Truman, is already a level-nine Magic Shooter. "
"Ah?" Salin was surprised at first, and then shocked. Although Truman himself had written a lot of magic experience in the magic book, and left a lot of magic notes for him, Salin didn't expect Truman to advance to level-nine in such a short time.
Speaking of which, there were only three mages in Jason's line, and Salin's aptitude was the worst. After Truman obtained the opportunity, he had enough magic cores and magic materials and advanced to the 9th Rank of the High Mage realm. This was admittedly due to the overall advancement of the Myers Continent, but even in ancient times, not every mage could advance to the 9th Rank so easily.
"Salin, you're back at the right time. Your Elemental Magic Tower is too difficult to refine. There are only three level-10 Magisters in the entire Metatron Forest. I sent one of them to Kushui Commandery, and the remaining one and I spent a lot of time on it. However, the refining process is too slow. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Let's finish refining your Magic Tower before you leave. Otherwise, I won't be at ease even if you're level-10."
"Teacher, why do you say that?" Salin thought that after he advanced to Rank 10, there would be very few opponents in the Myers Continent. He didn't expect that after listening to Jason's words, it seemed that he was still in danger.
"Salin, if you advance, others will advance as well. A Level 10 expert had appeared in Lianyun City and repelled the attack from Sacred Rock City. However, Lianyun City is not in a hurry to attack the city and seems to be preparing for some big plan.
Think about it, just a Grand Duke of Cloud Flow City can compete with our country. How many Level 9 experts are hidden in each empire and advanced during the continent's earthquake?
Someone like Joey might have a chance to advance to Level 11.
Salin stood there and respectfully listened to his teacher's lecture. He felt that he was a little too complacent. Although his equipment was powerful and he was also a Level 10 Magister, there was still a gap between him and Joey at that time. As for his own advancement, would a person like Joey remain stagnant?
"Alright, Salin, you don't have to be too nervous. I'm just reminding you that a Level 11 expert has appeared on this continent. Don't be too careless. With the Elemental Magic Tower, a Level 11 expert can't do anything to you. You should also listen to the war in Daliang City first. "
As Jason spoke, he told Salin about the war in Daliang City.
Salin spent one and a half months in the temple. The war in Daliang City had now developed to a state that no one expected.
First, it was Sacred Rock City. Prince Sephiroth finally changed his mind. He knew that it was not the time to compete with Rex, so he sent an army of 50,000 people through the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom. They traveled hundreds of miles through the mountains and built a tall and sturdy fortress on the east side of Daliang City. In addition to the 50,000 elites of Sacred Rock City, there were nearly 100,000 people from the northern nobles in the fortress. These 100,000 people firmly guarded the mountain passage so that the army of the Vatican could not attack Kushui Prefectural Kingdom.
Daliang City was finally free of worries. These 100,000 people were only defending to the death. Once the fortress was built in the mountains, unless a large number of professional experts were gathered, it would be impossible to conquer it. In normal times, no one would build such a fortress in the mountains because it was meaningless. Only at this time, the fortress played a role in stabilizing the situation.
Sephiroth's fortress happened to be built on the edge of the giant's graveyard. If the Vatican wanted to attack this fortress, they would have to spend ten times more power than usual. From this point, it could be seen that Sephiroth was very good at military affairs. With only 100,000 people, he was able to pin down a large number of the Vatican's troops.
Then there was Alchemy City. Alchemy City sent more and more mages into Daliang City. After Daliang City's magic net was completely built, the combat power of the mages in Daliang City was no different from usual. In fact, if he had an abundance of Mental Energy, he would even be able to unleash more Battle Power than usual.
The battle at the entrance of the graveyard was extremely intense. It was a three-way battle. The petrified gods and both sides were enemies. The Vatican constantly sent soldiers to fight with the people of Daliang City for these petrified gods. Both sides had their wins and losses. Daliang City relied on the magic net to obtain more than 60% of the income, while the Vatican could only snatch about 30% of the petrified gods' fragments.
The investment here was too large. On the Scotia Empire's side, Ceylon City and Port Royal were both saved.
As for Metatlin City, because there was no more war, they began to send fleets to the Frozen Sea to hunt. The supply of magic cores was also restored. Now, there were more than 100,000 magic cores in Metatlin City's warehouse every month.
It seemed to be due to the increase in the power of the continent. Not only were humans advancing, but the magical beasts were also advancing. The number of magical beasts in the sea was increasing, and there were even signs of breaking the balance of the Frozen Sea. Metatlin City had no choice but to increase their investment and hunt as many magical beasts as possible in the sea to prevent the number of magical beasts from exploding and endangering the sea routes.
Magic cores below level-7 were no longer of much significance to Archmages. However, Salin still needed to support a large number of mages and provide low-level and mid-level magic cores for the Mana Furnace. This kind of hunting was very meaningful. Moreover, hunting now did not need to be too close to the Frozen Sea to obtain more income than before.
"Teacher, does this mean that Daliang City is safe?"
"Yes, Daliang City is safe. However …"
Jason hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your territory is too extravagant. Look, you have to support three cities at the border of the original Phoenix, and then Lone Star City. You can't lose it either. In addition to the current Ceylon City and Port Royal, a small kingdom like yours has to protect six important locations. If the war in Daliang City ends, what do you think the outcome will be? "
Seeing that his teacher was not worried, Salin smiled, and said, "Teacher, the war in Daliang City cannot end, at least not within ten years. Even I don't dare to think about what's inside, for fear that I can't resist the temptation. "
"Heh, Salin, it's good that you know. When the mages of our lineage are truly brave and diligent, we don't need so many external forces. As long as we have luck, it'll be fine. "
After Salin finished his conversation with his teacher, he was finally at ease about the matter in Daliang City. He was afraid that there were spies in Daliang City, so he did not contact Rex. Now, no one knew that he had returned to Metatlin City. Even the nobles in Metatlin City knew nothing about this.
The next step was to refine the Elemental Mage Tower. With the help of two 10th-tier Magi who were experts in Water Flame Alchemy and a 10th-tier Magus from Seriger Island, Salin only wasted a week in refining the Elemental Mage Tower. Finally, the Elemental Mage Tower was completed.
Jason's words made Salin very vigilant. His current battle strength was enough to deal with mages of the same rank, but what if there was another rank 11 expert with a high-grade divine weapon? Human rank 11 experts were not brainless creatures like the Dread Heavens. His family crest had failed several times, and it had always been on humans.
There was no need to worry about Ceylon City. Nelis had easily advanced because of his advancement, so the Winged Skeleton should have advanced as well. A rank 10 specter with the Scythe of the Nether God, and a creature with intelligence similar to humans, was far stronger than a simple Undead Monarch.
Moreover, the Weave in Ceylon City was about to be completed. With his twelve court mages overseeing it, there was no need to worry anymore. Port Royal had the primordial warship, and he could give it up. That place was hard to defend at sea, and as long as his navy was strong enough, he could take it back at any time.
With no more worries, Salin began to prepare to rush to the sixth temple. The sixth temple was in the sea. Salin had the Elemental Magic Tower, so it didn't matter if the temple was on the island or under the sea. What he needed to prepare was sufficient equipment to deal with unpredictable troubles.
Salin's astral bracelet had twelve equipment slots. This time, Salin wanted to make use of all twelve slots before rushing to the temple. Enemies above rank 10, if they had the appropriate equipment, could begin to use the power of the domain. Because Salin's strongest skill was the law of lightning, he was unable to form the domain for a long time, which made him very depressed.
Just like that, he was delayed in the temple until the end of August. Salin was finally ready to set off. This time, he didn't bring many people. Celia, Nelis, Eleanor, and Sue. Zola was left in the temple to protect his children. Moreover, if one of his cities was in trouble, Zola, a true martial expert, could rush over at any time to resolve the crisis.
